Bea, from Sydney, Australia, sent in this great wiggly worm toilet paper craft idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

A simple craft from toilet paper rolls and joined together by paper fasteners! You can turn it into a caterpillar or even a snake depending your kids interests!

To make:
Grab a few toilet paper rolls, cut the ends at an angle on both sides and punch a holes on the ends to connect them. For the head bit, just seal the end with cut out toilet roll, add some googley eyes and a mouth and you’ve got a cute wiggly worm!

It’s easy and made from recycled materials so it doesn’t cost much.

Do you have any other projects planned?

I have a few on the pipeline but a cutting activity will be on the works soon.
